The walls are brick white, by the entrance you're able to set up a reception area, there are two steps and you are in the main area with the kitchen off to the left and a fire place as the focal point to the right. Multiple windowed doors leading out to the pool area. The Jacuzzi area is up a few stairs and several feet away from the pool. Large lounge area, bathrooms are very clean. The view is breath-taking when standing pool side. Lots of street parking. If you're looking to have a small intimate gathering, this would be the perfect place. Security can be seen doing their rounds, very secure. Attend a psychic event here, they created a beautifully serene environment. Also attended a passion party event and this venue blended well with that event too. Beautiful, well kept, stunning view, wonderful area and works well for any type of function.

Great service!…read more December 30, 2015 We were able to take advantage of this place because of the military status of my sister-in-law, my late brother was in the U.S. Army. This is a one-stop place that offer special discounts to some of the best attractions and activities on Oahu and the neighboring islands. MWR stands for morale, welfare, recreation for Hawaii military personnel. We were assisted by an employee named Joshua. They had a numbering system to which you take a number and you will be helped when your number is called. We didn't know to do this but he came out and helped us immediately once we walked in the door. Perhaps it wasn't that busy at the moment yet. Joshua was helpful, witty and informative. He gave us pricing, best deals, and answered all our questions. He was patient with us and assisted us till the booking was finalized. We inquired about a tour at the Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a place for a luau. We finally settled on Paradise Cove for a luau and some of our family members are going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Aside from luaus they also offered discounts on shows, dinner cruises, tours and activities on land and on the water, event tickets, mainland theme parks and lots more! Glad our military have this place to get cheap tickets.. they deserve much more. This is located at the Naval Station in Pearl Harbor. Thank you, Joshua! Review #0406

Gentry Community Park sits a lone structure that houses an outdoor lap pool and party pavillions. Having a community center like this is a huge plus because here in Hawaii there is no such thing as a "small party." There are two pavilions available for rental: LARGE PAVILION: - maximum capacity is 88 people - that provides 16 tables and seating for 88 people - damage deposit check of $275.000 - rental fee with pool access for $375.00 - rental fee without pool access $275.00 - minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours - additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $55.00/hr - additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $25.00/hr - FULL KITCHEN AVAILABLE ON PREMISE SMALL PAVILION: - maximum capacity is 39 people - that provides 8 tables and 39 chairs - damage deposit check of $175.00 - rental fee with pool access for $275.00 - rental fee without pool access is $175.00 - minimum time to rent pavilion is 5 hours - additional hourly rate if your event surpasses 5 hours is $35.00/hr - additional hourly rate for pool time if your event surpasses 5 hours is $25.00 - NO KITCHEN AVAILABLE FOR SMALL PAVILION Also note there there NO LIFEGUARDS OR ATTENDANTS ON DUTY TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION. What I love about this place is that your guests can get as loud as they want because there is no immediate housing nearby that would complain of noise pollution. It's a great venue for parties that require more space than your home or perhaps something not the size of a banquet room at a hotel or country club. Perfect for the "small" local parties. There is tons of parking specific to this community center but also tons of available non-metered street parking. There is also a resident pool membership if your specific housing does not have a pool. The fee is an annual rate of $50.00 for head of household and $15.00 for each additional household member who is 7 years and older. There's a pool schedule that allots for open swims, swim clubs and lessons as well as overnight lap swims (it's an additional fee to have access to night swims). In my opinion, this is such a great asset to the growing Ewa plain community. The only downside is that this community center is that it's for all Ewa by Gentry (can't have just one if you're gonna build up the entire west side of Oahu). This is strictly a community center with no recreational equipment (like a gym or workout equipment).

My friends and I came in and the lady asked for his name (valid) and how many guests to which he replied 4. She said "you know its usually $7 per guest" and side eyed us?? $7/person is fine, whatever, we'll pay it but all that attitude and proceeded not to charge us anyway?? We swam for a bit and at 755p, i guess it closes at 7:45, she walked to the deck and said "the pool closed 10 mins ago! you guys need to leave!" but there was people still swimming laps in the pool? and she never said anything to them? Idkkk just rubbed us the wrong way especially from the jump when all she had to do was check his name and let us in. Her body language, tone and attitude said everything we needed to know about her ... Giving insecure in my opinion!

I usually look for a spot of green on the GPS in the form of a city park. On a recent shopping trip to the Waikele Outlets, I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful the nearby Waikele Community Park is! We dropped off the shopper and drove just a few minutes. The park is shaped like a giant half circle with golf condos behind trees around it. The parking lot is very large with plenty of shaded parking. This park is awash in amenities: public clean restrooms, a community pool with generous hours (although be prepared for unexpected closings), a recreation office with many classes and activities, and picnic area (by permit). Everything we explored was spotless, no trash here. Uphill from the pool is a large open field perfect to play games, set up volleyball nets or tents. There was a large family gathering happening while we were there, and it looked so relaxing and shady. This is as perfect as an Oahu city park can be!

There's always a nice mix of people from all over the island who come to visit--many even call it the "Fruit Park" or "Apple Park." For us, it's extra special because it's right across the street from our home, making it so convenient to enjoy. The park is well maintained weekly through our community fees, and the trees here are amazing--the ulu provides food, and the puakenikeni blossoms are perfect for making lei. We've even been able to spread a few lauhala seeds, adding to the natural beauty. Konane Park is truly a gathering place that reflects the spirit of Ho'opili.

We've been told it's full, that there aren't enough kids, or that they could only play for 30 minutes. This time, I called ahead to make sure there was space before driving over. The person I spoke with told me they were open and had plenty of room. I explained that we would arrive in about 30 minutes. He said there was a birthday party starting at 4:00 PM, so my three boys would have 30 minutes to play freely before it got busy, and that they would be fine. When we arrived, we were immediately told they were closed for a party. I explained that I had just called and been told otherwise. Instead of trying to resolve the situation, the staff became hostile and accused me of lying, saying, "We don't even have a phone. We haven't had one for months." That's impossible because I called the phone number listed on their Google Business page. Rather than apologizing or trying to figure out what happened, they told us to leave and refused to let my kids play. The customer service was completely unacceptable. Lucas, Jason, and the manager (who refused to give me their name) handled the situation very poorly. Even if there had been a misunderstanding, there was no reason to treat a customer that way. We left and went to Space Room instead, and it turned out to be the best decision. The staff there were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our kids had an amazing time, and the experience was everything we had hoped for. I will never return to Pups of War, and I cannot recommend it based on how we were treated. Save yourself the wasted trip and go somewhere that values its customers.
